What is prostitution anyways? It's a consentual agreement between two adults to trade sex or companionship for money. It's easy to say you'd never stoop so low because you are young, have a job and have no kids. Some people do what they have to do to survive and other people do what they have to do to not be lonely. Some people don't have a choice but to make an arrangement of sorts if they want some kind of companionship. Would the ugly, asshole lawyer have an easy time finding a companion if he wasn't rich? Not likely. Why should he not use the one thing he does have that can attract a mate?
I understand your position Gyps but I do think it's naive. A majority of marriages are not based on mutual love or even if they start out that way, they may not end up that way somewhere down the line. It's just a fact of life and as much as Anna Nicole made my skin crawl, I really can't look down my nose at her for doing what she did as I don't see it as being much different than other marriages and the mutual agreements that two adults make.
